I loved reading his books as a kid, and as an adult, I&#8217;m looking forward to reading them to my son.  But I don&#8217;t think they have translated well to the big screen in recent years.  &#8216;The Cat in the Hat,&#8217; &#8216;Grinch&#8217;, and others aren&#8217;t my favorites.  Most of the time, I feel like the movies don&#8217;t quite capture the Seuss magic.  Another issue is that trying to convert a short children&#8217;s book into a 90 minute movie can be difficult.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;The Lorax&#8217; is pretty much the same as the other Seuss movies.  If you liked &#8216;Horton Hears a Who,&#8217; which was actually not bad, you&#8217;ll probably like this.  I suspect that your kids will be entertained by it, but you&#8217;ll probably be a bit bored.  Unlike other recent animated movies like &#8216;Toy Story&#8217; and &#8216;The Incredibles,&#8217; &#8216;The Lorax&#8217; doesn&#8217;t provide many laughs for adults.  It is a movie strictly for kids.  If you have young children, I think this is definitely worth your time.  Otherwise, I&#8217;d probably pass.  <\/p>\n<p><code><\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-like\" data-href=\"http:\/\/bagleyinsurance.com\/\/movie-review-the-lorax\" data-send=\"true\" data-width=\"450\" data-show-faces=\"true\"><\/div>\n<p><\/code><\/p>\n<p><code><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share\" class=\"twitter-share-button\" data-via=\"bagleyinsurance\">Tweet<\/a><br \/>\n<script>!function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\";fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(document,\"script\",\"twitter-wjs\");<\/script><\/p>\n<p><\/code><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m a Dr. Seuss fan.
